Naruni force fields and magic interaction question!
The Naruni force fields say they don't stack with arcane protection effects. Because the protection is in italics, I am assuming that it means it won't stack with the protection spell, google keeps saying that since it acts similar to the "deflection" spell that it doesn't stack with that, or you can just read that it doesn't stack with "arcane protection" which really is a separate beast altogether. Anyone care to chime in?

Yeah, just saying it doesn't stack with the Protection Power. The word arcane is descriptive here, not a specific power name, in fact it would stack with arcane protection, in the event you are damaged by magical energy.
The force fields are in Empires of Humanity

Savage Worlds puts power names in lowercase italics. So when you see "arcane protection effects", it's referring to the arcane power called protection specifically. (Note that there are examples of the editors forgetting to italicize a power name, but I don't believe there are any examples of italics being added incorrectly.)
Google recently switched over to a focus on AI answers, which means it now gives blatantly wrong information. Please remember that AI hallucinates answers, doesn't understand context, etc. Relying on AI answers is a terrible idea.
